Here's What You Should Know About Drop Arm Awnings

If you're searching for a cheaper and easier alternative to window replacements for your home, there are plenty of other solutions out there. One such option is installing drop arm awnings. It is an exterior covering for windows typically mounted on the roof or evenly spaced walls around the building's perimeter.

These external blinds and awnings are made up of two parts: top and bottom. The top hangs over the window and into the room forming an "a" shape while the bottom section hangs below it, forming an "h" shape with pieces that are called brackets. A drop arm awning is usually made of aluminium, vinyl, or plastic and is available in a variety of colours.

There are several different types of brackets to match the style. The brackets are typically attached with screws and on occasion, glue. As long as your home's siding does not have too many protrusions and you don't plan on hanging any heavy materials on it, the drop arm awning should fit snugly over your windows and doors.

Each part is connected at the bottom by two Velcro strips that allow users to adjust the height at which it hangs. Hanging the drop arm awning at higher, more centralized heights allows more light to enter a room and is typically the most popular option. However, if space is limited, hanging it lower can make your windows less visible and grant more privacy.

There are a number of protections that come with having drop arm awnings installed. One is the fact that they protect your windows from the elements and the elements from your windows, meaning that there are no worries about window replacements due to weather conditions (such as snow and rain).

Drop arm awnings not only provide aesthetic benefits for homeowners but convenience, too.
